This year on the Isle of Wight you can help the homeless simply by buying your Christmas Tree from this new business - they will donate £5 to the Pop Up Soup Kitchen for every tree or festive candle sold
Trevor Blaney came up with a great way to raise awareness for the Pop Up Soup Kitchen. With the help of Tesco in Ryde, flowers were placed across the Island this morning to spread the message.
A collaboration between the Pop Up Soup Kitchen, Ryde Elim Church and a bunch of wonderful volunteers means that Isle of Wight homeless now have a warm, safe place for night-time respite.
Tents and sleeping bags (some donated) as well as personal belongings of homeless Islanders on the outskirts of Newport were trashed and the occupants evicted in the early hours of Wednesday morning this week with no notice.
Congratulations to Trevor Blaney from the Isle of Wight Pop Up Soup Kitchen who last night picked up the 2017 Observer Food Monthly Award for 'local food hero'. Well deserved!
A team of ten brave souls will be eating their way through 5kg of 'warm' pickled onions on East Monday for charity. Head down to Sandown from midday to see them complete the challenge.
The Isle of Wight Pop Up Soup Kitchen has teamed up with a private landlord to get at least five more homeless people off the streets and into safe, warm surroundings before winter sets in. Find out how you can help.
